One word, just one word.

Tastykake


This stuff used to be only available within a few hundred miles of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They've expanded so that you can buy it in stores 1000 miles away in Florida. Still, the cakes have a short shelf life, unlike most mass produced cakes out there, so it's not available in most of the United States.

..and yes it is special.

OK, in deference to our southern Cellarites, I will also add Moon Pies (with Goo-Goos). Goo-Goos I believe were associated with the Grand Ole Opry.

Because it tastes like brined sh*t. Next question, please.

Thanks for the suggestions.
Sadly Brianna is right and I cannot abide peanut butter in any guise, so the PB optins are out.

Am tempted by the Betty Crocker poatoes and Wolf's suggestion of what to do with Heinz Chili Sauce.
The whole green chillies appeal, but we can but Old El Paso here, so I will check my supermarket first.

Don't worry, I don't assume this list of processed foods represents America's total culinary output - I've been around here long enough to know you guys are great cooks too.

One wonders where this clearly unique taste sensation first made its decidedly memorable impression upon you, sir...?

Pace "salsa" is more like... bloody mary mix. Or spicy V-8.

BigV 10-25-2006 05:00 PM

Well, it wasn't the whale's penis.

I confess to some artistic license in my description. It was not intended as a mathematically accurate analysis (hehehe. anal... ) It's just very salty, and tastes bad. Better to go without.

If one desires some salsa, it requires the chopping up of about five ingredients... (hint: add some tomatillos for a little zzzing)

Have you ever tried peanut butter and honey sandwiches? I had a friend who couldn't even stand the smell much less the taste of peanut butter...but she loved peanut butter and honey sandwiches. I always had to bring extra when I came to school with one or else I wouldn't have enough for myself. Biiig glass of milk with it tho...it isn't complete without the milk. Also natural peanut butter is alot better than that proccessed crapp by Jiffy and other such peanut butter brands.

I like PB&H especially when the honey soaks into the bread and gets a little crunchy.

Peanut Butter and Bacon rocks too.

My husband and I argue about this one. He swears by Little Debbie, and claims that Tastykakes suck. I tell him he's an ignoramus from Ohio. (He really is! From Ohio, I mean.)
I love me a Tastykake. :yum:

Little Debbie is foul!

Peanut butter is the invention of the devil. No amount of suggested additives will change my mind.

PB&H& Apples! mmmmm
I tried it w/ bananas but i didn't like the mushiness...maybe apples and bananas(did anybody else sing song that phrase?)...but i'm kinda lazy and don't wanna have to go through all of that prep.
SG be more open minded (or perhaps I should say "mouthed") about peanut butter!

Just realised I'm back within striking distance of the physical shop that this eBay thread was about.

Spent a good, happy time browsing.
Then went to the ginormous Asda also in Milton Keynes and saw such disparate items as A1 Steak Sauce and Marshmallow Fluff there as well. I could probably have found more, but Mum shops in supermarkets, she doesn't go window shopping like Dad and me.

They have agreed to drop me off there next time they go to MK market so I can spend as long as I like.
Yay!

If anyone is interested in seeing if one of their personal favourites has been added to the list, the update is here.

For the record
Quote:

Our store in MK easily carries over 1000 American imported food lines and are expanding every week! Our shelves are bursting with goodies & there is something for everyone - guarenteed! We also sell food products from all over the world: New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Italy, Germany and of course treats from Speciality Suppliers here in the UK.
So even the Aussies can join in. If you want to I mean.
